Okay, this may seem silly at first glance, but please hear me out..! I was running Carlo's Angry Pancake on this variant for a long while, and decided to run a different Mech entirely for LB10-X boating so I could broaden my experience. Rather than let my Fafnir languish half-skilled and unused, I decided to mess around with it recently. Having realized I had never used the Light Gauss Rifle despite absolutely loving the two bigger models, I slapped this together with what was, at the time, the last of my C-Bills. I fully expected this to be temporary, and perhaps garbage: _ It's not. It's ridiculous. I have played many games with this over the past couple weeks, so as to make sure I wasn't having a non-representative bunch of matches with it, and over the course of that time it became one of my favorite PUG assaults. It's got decent DPS, some long range pinpoint poke, some shred, ECM... and no heat management concerns whatsoever. Since Fafnir's mobility is pretty awful from the jump, mobility skills make a big difference. Torso speed and anchor turn are game changers for this one. In my opinion, that's the most important part of the tree for this 'Mech after ECM is done. Skill ammo and cooldown after that, and the rest I'll leave up to personal taste. Ammo locations are up to taste, too - there's one free slot for CASE should the pilot choose to switch it up now and again. I threw this together just to try LGauss and mess around, and I seem to have stumbled on a loadout that's staying with me for a while. It could be that it's a hate-it-or-love-it type of loadout, maybe it's meta-tastic, perhaps I've simply been lucky for a few weeks... Give it a whirl, let me know what you think.
